Adjust Cutoff Bar

Adjust top bar to make sure clippings are cleanly dis-

charged from reel area:

NOTE: Bar should be parallel to reel for optimum per-

formance and should be adjusted whenever shield

height is adjusted or whenever reel is sharpened on a

reel grinder.

1. Loosen screws securing top bar. Insert 0.060 inch

(1.52 mm) feeler gauge between the top of the reel and

bar; tighten screws. Make sure bar and reel are an equal

distance apart across the entire reel.

on each rear lift arm and support the cutting units when

fully raised. The cutting units should have approximately

sured at the rear roller.
